The Beginning of Trouble

The sound of Evelyn Carter’s heels clicking against the marble floor echoed through the massive college hallway. She wasn’t one to be intimidated, but walking into a new school—one filled with arrogant rich kids—was never her idea of fun.

One year. Just one year, and I’m out of here.

She tightened her grip on her bag and adjusted her blazer. As the CEO of Carter Enterprises, she had fought her way to the top. At just 19, she had built an empire. But here, none of that mattered.

To them, she was just the new girl.

And if there was one thing she hated more than attention… it was unwanted attention.

She made her way to the administration office, handing over her documents. The lady at the desk barely glanced at her before waving her off. "Your class is down the hall. Room 304."

Evelyn sighed. Great. Time to meet the spoiled brats.

As she turned, she didn’t notice the figure walking straight toward her.

Until it was too late.

A strong force collided with her, sending her slightly off balance. But before she could react, a firm hand caught her waist, steadying her.

The scent of expensive cologne and trouble filled the air.

"Careful there, princess."

Evelyn’s head snapped up, meeting the gaze of the last person she needed to cross paths with.

Adrian Knight.

The name was enough to send chills through anyone who had heard of him.

Rich. Powerful. Dangerous.

The heir to Knight Industries and, if the rumors were true, the next Mafia king.

He smirked, dark eyes filled with amusement as he studied her. "You must be new."

Evelyn jerked out of his grip, fixing her blazer. "And you must be annoying."

Lucas Hayes, who had been standing beside Adrian, let out a low whistle. "Damn. She’s got a sharp tongue."

Adrian’s smirk didn’t falter. In fact, it grew.

Interesting.

Most girls melted under his gaze. But this one? She didn’t even flinch.

Evelyn rolled her eyes and moved past him.

But before she could disappear down the hall, Adrian called out—

"I’ll see you around, princess."

She didn’t turn back.

But if she had, she would’ve seen the Dangerous glint in his eyes.

for the first time in a long time…

Adrian Knight was intrigued.

And that?

That was the beginning of trouble.
